About
Do you imagine yourself designing living spaces, shopping spaces, or spaces for fun, leisure, and entertainment? Are you creative but yet detail driven? Do you want to influence the future of green design?
The East Carolina University interior design program is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA), National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD), and the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA). Our computer-aided design studios, professional mentoring program, and intensive internship experiences add up to state-of-the-art preparation for work in the diverse, competitive, and rewarding field of interior design. Recently recognized by Interior Design Educators Council (IDEC) for their scholarship in design education, faculty in our program give students the opportunity to explore their passion for design while preparing them for their future career.
ECU Advantage
Interior Design students at ECU are actively engaged in their studies. Our students are working on projects that have real-world impacts from a North Carolina Indian heritage center to US Marine barracks that help heal our physically and emotionally wounded soldiers. With an expansive network of alumni to pull from, interior design students have a vast array of internship opportunities. And, upon graduation our students are linked to those that came before them to aid in their job search.
